Check out this del Sol *LOTS OF PICS*

[mike@af]

Here is a del Sol I made out of a Honda Civic Modifier. Its 1/43 and is pretty insane. Somebody suggested I enter it in a contest here. I want to know if you think it could be entered in a contest here AND what you think of it in general.

Modification list:
Shortened
Working Targa Top
Sctratch built tach
Pod Gauges
Working Trunk
Racing harnesses
Roof Scoop
Custom C-Pillars
Fender Flares
Complete Custom Body Kit
Scratchbuilt wing
NX Bottles
Subs

Before:

After:


















I fixed the hood gap

I think "before" was better, "after" looks very bad

[njh]

It
IMO the civic before was much much better.

Edit: chop the top and bigger rims are needed i think

To be honest, I don't think it will ever win a contest, I don't think you've cured the details enough for that, maybe you should have spent more time sanding and painting the whole thing.
I realise it's a 1/43rd scale car, so in the whole modifications have been well executed for that scale.
Maybe a change of rims is also wanted, if you do want to get the maximum effect with it .

Although I should pity the fool driving such a real car, I think it looks nice in model, but not a stunner, neither a masterpiece.

I hope I gave you some constructive critisism, so next time, take even more your time, pay even more attention to the details !

Well thank you. I guess it takes people that build modifiers that are 1/43 scale instaed of the bigger 1/24 scale to realize how much time, effort, hardwork, and agony.

I used to be into the custom modifier seen( back when the site was new). I have to say that this is one of the best I've seen. Could you list some custom modifier sites? I want to see them cause they look like they have gone a long way since I've been on there, but I can never get my screenname to work on there.

[Zwaag]

BTW that wing is tight, how did you make it?

[mike@af]

This is absolute bullshit is what it is. Damn, I wish I never posted this here. On the Real Modifierscars forum (www.modifierscars.com) I am the most respected person there. Why? One thing is, because of this del Sol. I would like to see you haters right up there build something like this. I have won contests before. Some people here from the modifiers forum like I_T_R, IntegraTypeR186, and Tyrant442001 are just a few people that respect this mod. All I can do is just sit here and shake my head. Im sorry its not good enough for this forum, but for the other Modifiers out there, it is.

sorry but no matter how small the scale is, it looks like crap. The body work is'nt even sanded completly ????

[Zwaag]

thats the site I was talking about, But could you post some links to personal sites with modifiers, if its not too much trouble

Now this is a person that respects a good modifier when he see's one. I've been on the forum since it came up, and now Im a Moderator there. Here are two of my sites, My How To Site: http://teamexcessboost.tripod.com/index.htm and maybe you remember the Mod Gods? Mod Gods The #1 Team The wing was made out of .020 styrene.

Thank you! I do remember the mod gods, thats the link I was hoping you would post

[Zwaag]

Yup. We're the best team around and we're on our way to being sponsored by X-Concepts. If you remember ImportFool and OzZySi, they are coming out with some really sick things same with MKIIDie4.
